RICHARD L. HILL <br />CITY ATTORNEY <br />THOMAS L. BODNAR <br />CHIEF DEPUTY <br />DAVID C. CHAPLEAU <br />GREGORY D. LOUGHRIDGE <br />JOHN M. MARNOCHA <br />CAROLYN V. PFOTENHAUER <br />ROBERT C. ROSENFELD <br />EUGENIA S. SCHWARTZ <br />CITY ®f SOUTH BEND <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />June 6, 1983 <br />Members of the South Bend Common Council <br />4th Floor County -City Bldg. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />219/284.9241 <br />The attached proposed ordinance establishes the position of Deputy <br />Mayor, which Mayor Parent intends to fill by appointing the City <br />Controller to the office. In essence, this designation of the City <br />Controller as Deputy Mayor merely enables the Mayor to designate him as <br />acting mayor during the Mayor's absence from the City, or in case of <br />illness or injury. Such a designation would enable the Mayor to <br />continue this long standing practice. <br />Recently passed legislation in the General Assembly makes such a <br />specific designation of a Deputy Mayor necessary in order to continue <br />this practice. In addition, in the event of vacancy in the mayoral <br />office, the Deputy Mayor would fulfill the responsibilities of that <br />office until the vacancy is filled in accordance with state law. <br />If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. <br />Sinc ely, <br />Richard L. Hill <br />City Attorney <br />RLH /clt /24 <br />
